Repco Bathurst 1000 driver line-up complete

10 Nov 2021
Final co-driver announcement completes 2021 Great Race line-up

The full 26-car, 52-driver grid for December's Repco Bathurst 1000 is complete.

It was announced Wednesday morning that Kurt Kostecki will share the #34 Matt Stone Racing entry with younger brother Jake.

It comes after MSR confirmed Jayden Ojeda will drive with Zane Goddard for this year's Great Race.

This year's 26-car grid will feature 13 drivers who have won the race.

The 13 drivers combined for 30 Bathurst victories, with Craig Lowndes the most successful driver in this year’s field with seven previous victories.

Lowndes' co-driver Jamie Whincup, Garth Tander and wildcard Greg Murphy all have four.

Murphy will make his first Bathurst start since 2014, with fellow wildcard and two-time Russell Ingall to make his first start since 2016.

Ingall will share a Supercheap Auto-backed Triple Eight wildcard with Broc Feeney, while Murphy will share a Boost Mobile-backed Erebus wildcard with Richie Stanaway.

This year's Great Race will also be Whincup’s last as a full-time Supercars driver before he moves into a team ownership and managing director role with Triple Eight in 2022.

Lowndes will move to equal third on the all-time Bathurst starts list on 28, drawing level with Colin Bond and Bob Holden.

Ingall will make his 26th start, moving up to equal seventh, with Murphy and Tander to make their respective 23rd starts.

Tickford Racing's Zak Best, meanwhile, will make his first ever Great Race start.

The race itself will commence at 12:15pm AEDT on December, which will be the latest ever start for a Bathurst 1000.

For the first time, the event will run over six days from Tuesday 30 November and will feature nine support categories with races to be held on every day of the event.

Tickets for the Repco Bathurst 1000 are on sale now.
